Clinched:
-With two remaining weeks, three teams have guaranteed their spot in the playoffs. Louisville Losers and BarnCows have officially clinched by virtue of a maximum of eight 8-win teams, a mark both have already reached. Both teams reside in the East division, where Louisville Losers hold the advantage with a 3-0 division record. A win-out finish for Lousville Losers results in the East division and #1 overall seed. One loss and a win-out from BarnCows will result in BarnCows taking the East division and #1 overall seed. Whoever does not win the division is likely to finish 5th, though 6th is also possible. MexiHawks also clinched this week by virtue of a Moose Nuggets loss; with a two-game lead and a 3-0 division record. Not only have MexiHawks clinched their spot in the playoffs, but they are the first team to clinch a top 4 seed. A loss from both of the aforementioned teams and a win-out from MexiHawks would result in the top seed.

Soooooooo clooooooose:
-Plenty of teams are in a good position to punch their tickets into the playoffs. Ball Fondlers[b] and [b]PLB Penguins both only need to win one of their remaining two games to ensure a spot in the playoffs. One win for Ball Fondlers will ensure the South division, and a chance at the #1 overall seed. That could be obtained by winning out while MexiHawks loses a game, and neither Louisville Losers nor BarnCows finish with a better record, or out-scoring them if they have the same record. PLB Penguins need to win out and get some luck to win the East. Louisville Losers would have to lose out, and BarnCows would have to lose at least once, and score 7.5 fewer points than PLB Penguins over the final two weeks. The Romie Remission once appeared to be a playoff lock after a 6-1 start, but a four-game losing streak has the team still fighting. Any win should be enough to clinch the North, given a massive points advantage while sitting with a 1-game lead. It is possible to get the top seed; Winning out, of course. Losing out by BarnCows(week 12 opponent), MexiHawks(week 13 opponent), and Louisville Losers. Ball Fondlers would be allowed one victory as long as The Romie Remission gains a point advantage. Huh’s Red Redskins still have a chance at taking the South division, by winning the out while Ball Fondlers lose out. The top seed is out of the question though, as Huh’s Red Redskins will not pass Louisville Losers in points. Only one win could likely get the team into the playoffs, but they’d still be hoping for a lot of losses during the final two weeks. Lastly, Clown Town Bliggas have quietly turned around into contenders as well. They can no longer win the East division, but winning out ensures making the playoffs. One win would likely get the job done as well, for the same reasons as Huh’s Red Redskins.

Cross your fingers:
-Three teams currently sit with a 5-6 record, leaving practically no margin for error. Ferngully has won 5 out of its last 6 games following a 0-5 start to the season. With the easiest two games remaining, there would be a good chance of clutching a 7th or 8th seed. Moose Nuggets have had an up and down season, but now find themselves on a 2-game losing streak with a tough opponent next week. If they get passed PLB Penguins, an easier opponent awaits. Siekman is still alive as well. Like the aforementioned Moose Nuggets, they have a game against PLB Penguins and a very winnable match up down this final two week stretch. The North division is still in contention for Siekman; if they win out while Romie Remission loses both remaining games(with the tied-for-toughest remaining schedule). Moose Nuggets leads the scoring margin by 46 over Ferngully(who has only .5 more than Siekman), so if all three teams should win out, points scored would play a huge factor in who makes it, provided Clown Town Bliggas, The Romie Remission, and Huh’s Red Redskins don’t all lose out.

To the three 4-7 teams; Attitude City Ninjas, Flex Donovan’s Deal, and Merlin Olsen Twins. With all six remaining games against current top-7 opponents… Cross your fingers like hell and hope for as much chaos as possible. You haven’t officially been eliminated… but things are not looking too promising.

In order for me to make it, I'd need to win both remaining games (which on its own is already very unlikely to happen) and, at the very least, Greg, Alex and Moose can't win more than one of their remaining games and either Huh or Burdur would have to lose both of theirs. I'd still need to beat people on points, though the only two I've mentioned who I'm not currently beating in points are Moose and Burdur and they aren't insanely ahead.

That said, it's very, very, very unlikely I make the playoffs. With Abdel no longer paying attention (and being out of contention anyway), he likely won't fix his line-up and he's got Greg and Alex for the last two weeks, while Greg and Alex face Leo and CB in the other games, respectively. Alex should very easily win both of his remaining games, meaning I couldn't end up higher than him. Greg will likely beat Abdel but then lose to CB, though. But Burdur will probably win at least one of his remaining games so that + Alex winning both would end my already slim chances.

I'm still gonna set my line-ups and all that because crazier things have happened, but I'm ready to call this one an L for me. Fortunately, I'm still in it in the Discord league.

I have a feeling I'm gonna get in the playoffs and my team is gonna lay an egg first round.

* I may have eliminated & clinched certain teams that could TECHNICALLY miss out or make it but it's essentially impossible if I left them out of the scenarios here and there's enough crazy/different scenarios as it is. If something else other than these scenarios happen, just keep in mind they reeeally beat(/lost) the odds that were stacked against(/for) them

Stay tuned for tomorrow, practically none of the scenarios were actually officially set today...

Games that can still shake things up:

Huh's Red Redskins (7-5) vs. Clown Town Bliggas (6-6) (currently 88 - 81.5 ; projected 88 - 86.20)

Moose Nuggets (6-6) vs. Leo's Legendary Team (3-9) (currently 65 - 70.5 ; projected 80.95 - 70.5)

PLB Penguins (7-5) vs. Siekman (5-7) (currently 91 - 55.5 ; projected 91 - 87.46)

The Romie Remission (7-5) vs. MexiHawks (8-4) (currently 60 - 69 ; projected 100.40 - 89.32)

What a wild finish last year's regular season had

Fitting that Moose went on to win after he just barely squeezed into the playoffs

That's right
